Wong Fu’s on CNN!! C-N-N -Phil

August 15, 2009 Posted in Featured

Remember the interview CNN did of us a few months ago? At long last it has finally been completed and released online. No Anderson Cooper 360, but I think this is still a pretty significant deal no? =P  We have our own commentary of the piece (which we think is GREAT and really really well done [prob one of the best press pieces done about us, but it's freaking CNN so I guess that makes sense]), but I hafta get ready for our first ticket tour tour in Hacienda Heights which starts at 2pm. I hear there’s already ppl lining up.  Man, we’re on CNN. Please pass this link along to spread the word  http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/08/15/rowlands.wong.fu.productions.cnn

     


     
  1. thats so cool! ^ ^
    Congrats you guys only if id know about you guys earlier i wouldve try to join things and support you guys even more than i do now! Wong Fu Productions is my Number 1 Youtube Partner to watch out for!

  2. By the way, in the video they said you guys make money through selling merchandises and tours. Why not make commercial videos starring the youtube stars? An interesting commercial gets alot of hit too.

  3. Nice, I expected nothing less from my idols.

  4. Wow, you guys are really lucky. u were on CNN! my friend’s bro works there, i wish i could meet u guys, i sent this vid to a friend to spread the wong fu love!!!

  5. Now I am not sure who is the mainstream media and who is the minorstream.

  6. That was awesome! Congrats! I’m so glad that you guys are getting more exposure from mainstream media and getting your message out there. I really appreciate what you guys do in representing yourselves and other Asian Americans who are ignored or stereotypically portrayed in mainstream. With youtubers such as yourselves, Kevin Wu, David Choi, Christine Gambito, Ryan Higa, Quest, etc. we are moving closer and closer to breaking down racial barriers within America. Don’t stop doing what you do!

  7. You guys are great!! I saw you at UOP in 2009 and can’t wait to meet up and mingle again. I hope everything is running smoothly. I’m usually up to date on your videos but I had NO IDEA you had a CNN interview. Congratulations!! Hopefully next time you meet I can chat with you guys and get some hints for my own videography work. Stay inspirational.

  8. Oh my gosh! You guys are awesome! I stumbled across you guys on facebook (guilty as charged) and have been watching your videos ever since. I so wish you could come all the way down to lil New Zealand so that I can personally meet you guys. I hope to see more of your work in this new year!

  9. So happy for you guys! I’m a big fan all the way from the Netherlands (Europe). Wished I could meet you guys irl. Keep doing the great job you’re already doing.

    Much love and support from me

  24. Amazing!! Congratulations on your hard work. I had just gone into college the year you guys started productions (actually went to the same college as y’all). A few years later, one of my sociology classes played the short where “bai ren kan bu dong”…lol. This is so inspiring!!…and…I should have networked with you guys in college, haha. Kudos on the true portrayals of Asian-Americans.

  25. Different version of the one I saw on tv. My sister and I were like OMG when we saw the preview they ran before showing the whole segment. It was so cool seeing Wong Fu on tv.

  30. congrats guys. this is such a great accomplishment!

  31. I saw Philip tweet this and i watched it and like WOW! thats so cool.. hahaha and i had to re tweet it. and it was nice meeting you guys today!!!

  32. That is awesome. Gratz guys. I love ur vids!

  33. Yo, my friend saw it on tv and told me about it! Great job!! When are you gonna crash a hollywood party and start making some mainstream asian-celeb connections? Get a cameo from a someone famous to propel you up even more!

  34. Wait you guys aren’t partners with youtube?

  35. What…. your gonna moderate my last comment? Awwwhhh lul

    Ok well if ya wanna email me some updates of your stuff that’d be cool anyways

    - Just in case my last post gets moderated to death -

    You are indeed a talented bunch and here in the UK im one the suckers that saw the interview an got interested from that….so expect and enjoy a success sprial from that lol

    Im a script writer and comic writer who has interests in Asia and Asian culture (not one whose worth getting excited over) but the futures bright, the futures….yellow.

    Hahahahahahaa….true that, tue that.

    Take it easy y’all.

  36. Yeah I gotta say that I’m a sheep too….saw ya on CNN an cool stuff I’m another independant wannabe asian artist type character – But half latin half brittish in the UK…(went to college an had a mate for a year who thought I was chinese – freakin idiot)

    But yeah you guys are talented an hopefully one day you’ll read my comics and I’ll be like “hey lets go make a kick ass movie!”

    ….Or summat like that…generally white people suck, I aint working with those bastards…(just joking, ya fine uncle tom and your healthcare doesnt suck either, and nobody hates you….carry on.)

    For great justice!!!1

  37. Heyyyy! The log in feature started working again.

    This is pretty awesome guys. You can already see it’s paying off with new fans. Nothin’ wrong with that. WF NGs on CNN. Yeaya.

  38. Finaly a US channel speaks about you! It’s kind of a payback for what a crappy channel did to FM. Now i believe that with your appearance on CNN will make people get to know FM too because MTV ignored em’. I hope all of you guys have a good luck doing what your doing and reach the top always humble!
    I’m from Portugal and what you guys do is my dream since I was 12 years old. This year I’m going to college and follow what i enjoy to do and later maybe I’ll start a small productions enterprise. I just hope i have so much luck like you! Maybe one day in the furure we could do a collab work ;) hehe. I’m not asian but ppl say I’m Blackanese cuz my eyes look alike a bit and i love asian culture. I’ve been folowing you guys since i seen you names at HappySlip’s Rollercoaster. The first video of your’s i seen was “See Through” and from there you become my inspiration…

  39. Congrats! Looking forward to more great shorts.

  40. It’s always neat to watch you guys continue to develop and further your works. It really makes you wonder where you guys might be in 5 or 10 years time. Will Wong Fu continue to expand with more people, and turn into a full-scale company? Branch out from music videos and short films? Whatever happens, just don’t go capitalistic and loose sight of your values and why you started this in the first place.

  41. @Darica wow thank you! We are really glad you enjoyed what we’ve done so far, hopefully bigger and better things to come.

  42. omg!!! i was jus lookin for something to watch on youtube. my uncle came in the living room and turned on the TV; he was gonna watch some CNN. out popped you guys and something about asian or whatever. i wasn’t really paying attention but when i watched your interview, i got so interested and went on google and typed WONG FU PRODUCTION. you guys are awesome! to tell you the truth, i never heard of you before. i’m asian and i’m so inspired by you guys. we needa see some asians on tv. u now! =)

  43. This is so awesome! I’m so happy that Wongfu is being recognized and featured on sites such as CNN. I know that you will all go places far beyond your imagination!

    Once again, Congratulations and I want to see more!!

  44. Awesome! Congrats to all y’all!

    ~Stephi
